Crazy man on the internets
Gingrich: Young Americans 'Massacred' by Illegal Immigrants
By EUNICE MOSCOSO
Cox News Service
Wednesday, August 15, 2007


WASHINGTON — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Tuesday he is "sickened" that President Bush and Congress went on vacation "while young Americans in our cities are massacred" by illegal immigrants.

Gingrich, who is considering a run for the White House, was referring to the recent execution-style murders of three college students on a school playground in Newark, N.J.

One man whom police believe was involved in the murders — Jose Lachira Carranza — is an illegal immigrant from Peru who had been released on bail on charges of raping a child when the murders occurred.

Gingrich said that the "war here at home" against illegal immigrants is "even more deadly than the war in Iraq and Afghanistan."

"As an American, I am sickened that the political leadership of America could continue to go on vacation and do nothing," he said. "Why are the August vacations for the president and the Congress more precious than the lives of young Americans who are being killed because of government incompetence and inaction?" uhc comment: He's correct on this - we're dying every fucking day in Iraq.

The measure should order the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security to outsource the development of an identification system to check the legal status of felons and have it up and running by Jan. 1, 2008, he said. He added that the government should withdraw federal aid from any city, county or state that refuses to participate in checking the legal status of arrested felons.

1. I hope Sleazebag Newt does run. He'll have his ass handed to him.



Anyone who runs for office hoping to get the lunatic fringe as their base loses every time.
